All Chapters of I teamed up with my ex-husband’s rival Alpha: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

"You are telling me my dream is impossible."Silas whispered the words. He slumped back in his wooden chair. The spark of hope in his tired grey eyes vanished instantly. He looked like a man who just watched his last chance slip away.Cassian stood near the end of the table. He did not look smug anymore. He looked genuinely frightened. He had lived in this valley his entire life and never realized the walls were holding the mountain back."I am not saying it is impossible," I clarified gently. I tapped the paper map with my finger. "I am saying you cannot build the trade plaza inside this valley. We have to build it above the valley."I pointed to a wide flat area on the map. It was located just outside the canyon pass."The plateau," Silas noted. He leaned forward and frowned. "But the plateau is empty. It is exposed to the harsh winds. How can we build a commercial hub up there.""We build windbreaks using natural timber," I explained smoothly. My mind was already sketching the desi

A soft whimper echoed through the digital baby monitor resting on my desk.I set my stylus down and rubbed my tired eyes. The sun was barely rising over the eastern woods. I had been awake since three in the morning, trying to finalize the structural supports for the Northern Ridge transport lift. My mind felt incredibly fuzzy. The demands of designing a new city were immense, and the demands of being a new mother were even greater.I stood up and walked down the hallway toward the nursery.Before I could reach the door, Dominic stepped out of his home office. He held a cup of coffee in one hand and a stack of trade reports in the other. He wore soft grey sweatpants and a dark shirt. His hair was slightly messy. We bumped into each other right in front of the nursery."I have her," Dominic whispered smoothly, though his voice sounded rough with exhaustion. "You go back to your blueprints. You have a deadline.""You have a regional budget meeting in two hours," I argued gently. I reach

The first snow of the season began to fall over the eastern woods.I stood by the vast glass windows in the living room and watched the white flakes drift down from the grey sky. The house was incredibly warm and cozy. A bright fire crackled in the stone hearth. Maeve sat in a rocking chair near the warmth, feeding Aurora a bottle. The baby looked up at her nanny with wide, trusting golden eyes."She has a very healthy appetite today," Maeve noted with a fond smile. She gently patted Aurora's back until the baby let out a tiny, satisfied burp."She is growing so fast," I smiled, walking over to sit on the plush sofa. "Thank you, Maeve. You have been a true blessing to our family.""It is my joy, Mrs. Vance," Maeve replied sincerely.The front door opened, letting in a gust of freezing wind. Dominic stepped inside, followed closely by Carter. They both brushed the snow from their dark coats. Dominic looked very serious. The relaxed husband from yesterday was gone, replaced by the fierc

The warm glow of the setting sun painted the sky in shades of violet and gold.I stood in front of the full-length mirror in our bedroom, smoothing out the fabric of my dress. I chose a soft emerald green dress that fell gracefully to my knees. It was elegant but very comfortable. I paired it with simple flat shoes. Tonight was not a diplomatic gala. It was just a casual dinner with friends.Dominic walked into the bedroom. He had just finished taking a shower. He wore dark denim jeans and a fitted grey button-down shirt. The sleeves were rolled up, exposing his strong forearms. He looked incredibly rugged and devastatingly handsome without his usual corporate suits."You look stunning," Dominic murmured. He walked up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pressing a soft kiss to my bare shoulder."You look very handsome yourself," I smiled, leaning back against his solid chest. "Are you sure you are okay with this. We do not have to go if you are tired."Dominic turned me a

"You are handing over seventy percent of the daily operations," Carter stated. He stood in my home studio, staring at the digital document Dominic had just transferred to his tablet.Dominic sat in the chair next to my drafting desk. He wore a simple black sweater and looked entirely relaxed. He did not look like a man who had just surrendered the majority of his regional power. He looked like a man who had finally set down a burden he was never meant to carry alone."I am delegating the operations, Carter," Dominic corrected smoothly. "You and the regional council will handle the trade disputes, the agricultural supply lines, and the minor infrastructure budgets. I will only step in for regional security matters and final treaty approvals."Carter adjusted his glasses. He looked at Dominic, and then he looked at me. "Alpha, this is a monumental shift in the command structure. You have managed every single detail of this region since we took over.""And it kept me away from my home fo
